Hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter.
Reason: tundra is extremely cold with long winters and scarce food, so hibernation helps animals conserve energy. The other choices are unsuitable: permafrost prevents deep roots (plants have shallow roots), large ears lose heat (bad in cold), and funnel-shaped leaves are more an adaptation to heavy rainfall or directing water, not tundra.
